"No, no, no, NO!"
Shouting at the clear night sky, you release your rage.
"What did I ever do to you? You have torn me down time and again. Leaving nothing to live for. So, when I decide to end it all you deny me that small curtesy. Then you add murder to the list of atrocities. Screw you fate... screw you."
The evening stars slowly disappear, blotted out by dark storm clouds. As if in answer to your challenge. Fat raindrops fell from the sky splattering on your face. Soon you were drenched from head to toe. Your jeans and blue hoodie clung to you like an extra skin. The wind picked up making the night even less bearable. The cool breeze chilled you to your bones. Snot began to drip from your nose eliciting a sneeze. Your whole body went numb. This process was sped up even faster with the dead weight on top of you, cutting off circulation.
"Really!"
Voice, hoarse from shouting, left you mute and miserable. Begrudgingly, you dropped your hands, defeated. Lying still, your senses awakened to the space around you. The rain fell like a roaring waterfall. Slowing down seconds later, to a trickle. Time stood still. Tiny droplets spattered into puddles with a gentle ringing sound. Rings cascaded out across the glassy surface. Giving life, to stagnant water. All around you the wind whistled through the grass like a call of a dove. Your eyes begin to close, anger subsiding. A serene calm overtakes you. Ever so slowly you breath. In and out... In and out. Your chest rises and falls with each new breath. You reached nirvana. That place where nothing else matters. The cold long forgotten, you are overcome with warmth. Then for the briefest instant, you felt something.
What was that?
Then it happened again. A pulse? Maybe a Heartbeat. You force your senses outward, focusing on the rhythmic thumping. A cloud of mist wafted on the air, caressing your cheek. Then it happened again and a third time. Your nose was tickled by the smell of peppermint. Your eyes shoot open, realizing.
This person is still alive.
Your fingers tingled, as blood rushed through your veins. Tiny pains erupted across you flesh like millions of pin pricks. Functionality restored, you slowly lift your hands. Gently you felt your way across the still form sprawled atop of you. Stopping once you touch something silky and smooth.
Hair?
Furthering your journey, you hit something soft and pliable. Your fingers begin to trace around the squishy mass, feeling the contour of the bones beneath.
A cheekbone?
The investigation continued across a cheek, up a pair of soft lips and ending with your finger going right up a nose. The movement was painful enough to wake the still figure.
"Snort! Ouch! What the hay Spike? How many times must I tell you not to wake me up by shoving your claws into my nose?"
A young feminine voice escaped from the pair of lips. The sound was music to your ears, reminding you of a flute.
"I don't know what you are talking about. My name isn't Spike, its Alex."
The heaviness covering you diminishes. The figure rises off your body. Her breath quickens, heartbeat racing. The young girl raises her head, soaked hair flopping down around her face. Your eyes adjusted the darkness, gaze into the shadowed face. The cloud cover opens for a brief instant, granting a ray of moonlight to pass, illuminating her delicate features. Glancing back at you is a pair of sparkling amethyst eyes. Her face, a pale cream color blanked with violet hair.
"Beautiful!"
"What?"
Realization dawns on you, as you recall what you just said. Your breath catches in your throat. You reflexively gag, choking on your tongue.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Are you all right?"
The frenetic sound of her voice made it seem like the girl was worried about you. Silently your head nods. Signaling you're fine. Free of the extra weight, you wearily back away from the girl. The woman’s face moved closer to you, examining.
"What are you?"
A thin finger waggled close to your nose. Her gaze leaves your face, eyes focusing on the finger.
"What is that? What in Celestia's name is going on?"
The sudden loudness of her voice causes you to flinch, eyes closing. The girl pauses, staring towards you.
"Eheheh... Sorry! Sometimes I lose myself and get carried away."
The girl rubs her head nervously, cheeks flushing. The action causes you the briefly drop your guard. You feel your own cheeks heat up, by the extreme display of cuteness. Your gaping jaw causes the girl to squirm and blush even more.
What the hell am I doing? I have already been fucked over by one woman today. This is two, too many. I won't travel down that rabbit hole again.
Lost in your thoughts you unconsciously turn your head away in disgust. Hurt by your sudden change, the girl’s expression saddens.
"I'm sorry if I have offended you in some way. I'm not very good at meeting new creatures."
Your right eyes blinks, focusing on her. Your head slowly turns towards her.
Fuck me... Fuck me sideways!
Your blue eyes lock with hers, rigid jaw slackens.
Silence!
"You did nothing wrong. I... I just have trust issues."
The girl's face turns hopeful. A slight smile creeps into her features, luring you in once again.
I'm so screwed.
Sigh!
"Is everything alright? You're not sick, are you?"
Her hand reaches for you. Your eyes close once again. You hold your breath. Nothing happens. Her soft warm hand presses against your forehead. Wearily you open your eyes. Her face is close. Close enough to kiss her delicate lips. Her breath tickles your cheek once again, your nose, assaulted by its sweet scent.
"You don't feel like you're burning up. Knowing very little of your species, I will take that as a good sign."
Your face heats up. The girl quickly pulls her hand away, surprised by the sudden temperature change. Her eyes focus back on you. Her cheeks flush, matching yours as she realized what she caused.
"Oh please forgive me. My curiosity got the better of me again."
Yep! So, screwed...
You nervously rub your head with your right hand.
"It's alright. It’s me who should apologize for acting strange."
The girl released a gentle snort followed by giggle.
Is she laughing?
The look of disbelief on your face caused her to laugh even harder.
"Really?"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Snort! Giggle!"
"Oh that sounds all kinds, of genuine."
Your voice drips with sarcasm. The girl wipes away a tear with a flick or her right index finger.
"I really am. I promise."
"Uh huh!"
The girl calms down, giggling subsiding to small internal convulsions.
"How about we call truce and say that we are both eternally sorry for being weird."
Looking at her skeptically, you nod your head in agreement.
"I don't recall what you said your name is. Let's start over. I am Twilight Sparkle."
Twilight offers you her right hand. Staring at her hand you mirror he movement with your left.
"Alex."
